Competition Specific Instructions Welding machines, tools and equipment usage: It is a requirement that the host
38、 country supplies welding machines that can be used in basic modes of operation. Welding machines may be used to their full technical potential. It is a requirement that the host country provides detailed operation manuals to all attending countries at least six (6) months prior to the Competition.
39、The welding machines provided shall have the capability to be operated using both standard amperage control and remote amperage control. Remote variable amperage devices shall be made available and include hand-held and foot controls. Grinding and the use of abrasive materials and equipment: Materia
40、l removal is not permitted on any of the root penetration or cap weld surfaces. “Cap pass” shall be defined as the final layer of the weld that meets the weld size, grooves and fillets. Restarts may be prepared before welding over them. Grinding the surfaces of the fillet coupon material before weld
41、ing is permitted but the preparation angles shall not be changed. Wire brushing: Wire brushing, manual or powered, may be used on all weld surfaces of the test plates/pipes (Module 1) and pressure vessel (Module 2). However, wire brushing is not permitted on any of the cap welds of aluminium project
42、 (Module 3) and the stainless steel project (Module 4). Backing bars / plates and restraining devices: No copper (Cu) chill plates or ceramic backing tapes/bars are to be used in the Competition. Purging equipment may only be used with the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process on the stainless steel proj
43、ect. Restraining devices shall not be used during welding of the test plates. Such devices include: clamps, jigs, fixtures or steel plates, tack welded to the test plates. Welding of the test plates is to be carried out without the aid of restraining devices; this is so the Experts can assess the co
44、ntrol of distortion. Weld cleaning of GTAW (TIG) projects: The weld faces on the aluminium and stainless steel GTAW (TIG) projects are to be presented in the “as welded” condition. Cleaning, grinding, steel wool, wire brushing or chemical cleaning is NOT permitted on any of the cap welds. Tack welds
45、: Tack welds shall be maximum 15mm in length. Tacking of the fillet coupons is as follows: One 25mm tack weld placed within the centre 50mm of the coupon to the rear of the weld area and one tack at each end of the test coupon. When assembling the pressure vessel, the Competitor may use any of the w
46、elding processes listed on that drawing for tack welding, in any position. No tack welds shall be made on the inside of the pressure vessel project. All tasks are to be fully assembled prior to submission for stamping. HOLD POINT: A jury member shall inspect the inside of the vessel to ensure the la
47、ck of tacks before enclosing the vessel. This is to be confirmed by stamping. Welding of test plates/pipes: Once welding has commenced, the test plates may not be separated and then re-tacked. Re-tacking may only take place, if root welding has not commenced. HOLD POINT: A jury member shall inspect
48、the positioning of the test pipe coupon in the coupon holder and mark the 12 Oclock position before welding commences. This is to be confirmed by stamping and will also act as a reference point if bend test coupons are to be taken. TD10_40CA_EN Date: 04.11.08 v2.0 WorldSkills International Technical
